Wisconsin Democrats Win State Government Trifecta

Democrats won Wisconsin’s governorship and majorities in both legislative chambers, achieving their first state-government trifecta since 2010. Democrat Greta Neubauer is set to become the Assembly’s first female speaker, and party leaders said priorities include raising the minimum wage, making childcare more affordable, funding public schools and cutting property taxes. Nationally, Democrats took control of both chambers of Congress for the final two years of President Donald Trump’s term. They also appeared to flip Pennsylvania’s Senate while retaining their House majority, gaining control of the state legislature and governor’s office for the first time in more than 30 years.
